Capo 4
Em
Em
I remember you asleep in your room
Em7
on a makeshift bed and your clothes were thrown
Em
Across the floor and hanging on the door
Em7
Was your favourite dress
Em
And I tossed and I turned and I get no rest
Em7
And I remember something I thought I forgot
Em
Feeling withdrawn and a little bit lost
Em7
In the middle of the day when we woke up
D
We would sit and watch the weeds
C G
Growing through the broken glass
D C Am7
While out on the street the cars go by so fast
G D
It goes so slow
F C G
That nothing here can hold you down
D F C
Your surrounds just bring you down
Em
My sense of touch
Em7
Words could never mean that much
Em Em7
My heart beats like a cheap watch
D
Running fast and running slow
C G
Speeding through the dark
D C Am7
While out on the street the cars go by so fast
G D
It goes so slow
F C G
That nothing here can hold you down
D F C
Your surrounds just bring you down
G D
It goes so slow
F C G
That nothing here can hold you down
D Am
Your surrounds just bring you down
D
It goes so slow
Am
Just to bring you down
D
It goes so slow
Am
Just to bring you down
D
It goes so slow
Am
Just to bring you down
